Chapter 19: Collecting Firewood
Just went all the way up, Shen Zhiwen hooked the branches in front, and Shen Yunfang picked up the branches in the back, because some of the branches were quite big, and she had a little difficulty carrying them, so she put all the branches together, and then it was almost, Shen Zhiwen took out a bundle of hemp rope from the crossbody bag, tied the branches into a big bundle, and then said to Shen Yunfang behind him: "I'll carry these back first, and I'll come back in a while." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Are you alone in this business? Why don't you go and wait for me on the hill?"
Ordinary people Shen Zhiwen would not ask this, mainly because he knew that his cousin had been timid since he was a child, and he only dared to go to the small hillside when he went up the mountain, he was afraid that he would throw her here, and she would cry when there was no one for a while.
"No, the back and forth delays, I'll wait for you here. "Shen Yunfang don't want to go back, finally the big sickle is about to come into his hands, if you don't take the opportunity to get more firewood, it won't be cost-effective."
"If you really don't go back, aren't you afraid?" Shen Zhiwen asked again uncertainly.
Shen Yunfang was a little speechless, and asked if it was a little late, if she was afraid, could she live at the foot of the mountain by herself, there was no kerosene lamp when it was dark, it was all up to her exploration.
"I'm so old that I'm not scared anymore. Just go and go back quickly. Shen Yunfang waved his hand like a fly.
Shen Zhiwen couldn't help it, and he also felt that nothing could happen in this moment's time. The people of this forest village often come to collect firewood, and those wild beasts are also afraid of people, so not even a rabbit can be touched here.
Shen Zhiwen repeated the instructions several times uneasily, and then bent down, carried a large bundle of firewood on the ground, and then walked down the mountain step by step.
Seeing Shen Zhiwen disappear on the path, Shen Yunfang turned his head, picked up the big sickle placed on a tree, and put it on a little heavy, how could he have ten catties. She looked up at the tree and decided, that was it.
Shen Yunfang found a branch in the photo, and trembled and raised the big sickle in his hand.
This thing is not light, plus to hold a head, the balance is very difficult to master, Shen Yunfang tried a few times, and finally let the sickle head reach the branch, and then she found the position where the branch was connected to the trunk, and with a force in her hand, she was ready to hook it down, but the result was that the sickle head was stuck on the branch, and the branch was still on the tree and did not move.
Isn't this infuriating, how is it to bully yourself for having little strength?
Shen Yunfang was still not convinced, and snorted twice on the palm of his hand, and began to pull the wooden handle of the sickle hard.
Shen Yunfang felt that she had used all the strength to feed, and the branches on it seemed to be against her, so they didn't move.
There was no way, in the end, Shen Yunfang added more than seventy pounds of weight in order to increase his strength.
Eventually, the branch above her head fell, and she was also taken to the ground by the scythe that suddenly fell, but fortunately, the handle of the scythe was long, and when the scythe fell, it was far away from her head.
Shen Yunfang got up from the ground and rubbed his aching buttocks, it's not good if he is too thin, and he is hurt by his bones.
She looked down the hill, then cautiously looked around, and when she was sure that there was no one, she put the branch she had hooked down into the space.
Then she refused to admit defeat and continued to hook the branches with tools, afraid that Shen Zhiwen would come back and find out that something was wrong, she didn't dare to continue walking, but turned back to the place where the two of them had just walked to hook.
After a few exercises and a few squats, I finally mastered the skills of this craft, and when I hooked the branches downward, although I still had to use the weight of my whole body, I would not fall.
Seeing that the time was almost up, she hurriedly carried the scythe back to its original position.
After Shen Zhiwen came back, the two of them continued to walk forward. In the morning, Shen Zhiwen ran back and forth three times, spreading out the branches in the yard, this kind of branches still have a lot of moisture, and they can't be burned directly, and they have to be dried in the yard for winter before they can be used. And Shen Yunfang took advantage of the fact that he went back to deliver firewood, and he also hooked a lot of branches, which were stored in the space.
In the end, Shen Zhiwen led Shen Yunfang to a pine forest on the south side of the mountain, a very large one, at least Shen Yunfang stood on the side and didn't see the head of the pine forest.
I took a deep breath, and a unique smell of pine entered my lungs, and it was indescribably comfortable.
"What are you doing standing stupidly, hurry up and hug the branches. Shen Zhiwen had already squatted down and hugged a small pile, and he didn't see his cousin working, and when he looked up, he was standing stupidly looking at the sky, and his arms were stretched.
"Oh, oh, I'll do it right away. Shen Yunfang's few literary and artistic tones were interrupted, and remembering that there was still business, she quickly squatted down and followed her cousin to start working.
After a day of getting along, she found that this second cousin, who looked honest on the outside and smiled at everyone, was not at all innocent, and sometimes spoke very viciously. It's really unseemly.
The pine branches on the ground were very thick, and after a while the basket carried by the two people was already full, so the two of them went down the mountain together, and today is it, and when I have time in the future, I can pick up two trips on the mountain.
At this time, he didn't have to worry about the food, at least Shen Yunfang didn't need it, so he went down the mountain, and after he got home and put down the firewood, Shen Zhiwen left without saying anything.
And Shen Yunfang had to go up the mountain to watch those sheep.
Of course, she had to feed her stomach first.
That night, when Shen Yunfang went to the production team to deliver sheep, she observed it herself, and after making sure that there was no one, she went to clean the cowshed for free again, and of course the cow dung was also owned by her in the end.
Then before leaving, she used a shovel to dig in the ground outside the pigsty, and saw that there were indeed earthworms in it, so she quickly took out the small crockpot she had prepared in advance, filled it with some soil with the smell of pig dung, and then threw all the earthworms she dug out into it.
Yes, Shen Yunfang's first plan is to raise earthworms, and by the beginning of spring next year, earthworm breeding is quite large-scale, and she can slightly expand the scale of raising chickens.
She is also in time to catch up, at this time in this place, there is no rule not to raise more chickens, then she can develop the breeding industry, even if she is not allowed to sell to individuals, the eggs and meat produced in the future, she will sell them to the country, in short, as long as you can decide the problem of feed, how to make money.
Of course, she has other plans, but they have to be taken step by step, and she believes that with her full skills, she will definitely be able to live a good life in this barren era.
Oh, she didn't say it, her parents in her last life were farmers, but she didn't farm since she was born, but caught up with the little tail of reform and opening up, and started the breeding industry, and her parents raised her by raising chickens, ducks and geese.
After years of polishing, she used earthworm farming for her to go to college, so whether it is raising earthworms or raising chickens and ducks, she knows how to do it and is scientific.
